Certification or Licensing
No licensing is required for Scrum masters. Voluntary certification is provided by the Project Management Institute (disciplined Agile Scrum master, disciplined Agile senior Scrum master, and other credentials), Scrum Alliance (certified ScrumMaster, advanced certified ScrumMaster, and other credentials), Scrum.org (professional Scrum master), International Institute of Business Analysts (Agile analysis, which the institute recommends for Scrum masters), and other organizations. Most programs require applicants to have several years of experience and pass an examination.
Scrum masters who are certified typically have a better chance of landing a job and receiving higher pay than those who are not certified. In 2025, certified Scrum masters earned an average of $3,720 more than those who were not certified, according to PayScale.com.
